Overview

Introducing the 2011 GAS GAS EC 250 2T, a standout in the world of enduro and off-road motorcycles. Renowned for its rugged performance and lightweight design, this bike is crafted for riders who crave adventure in the wild. With Spanish engineering at its core, the EC 250 2T combines agility and power, making it a perfect companion for both seasoned off-road veterans and enthusiastic newcomers looking to conquer rugged trails and challenging terrains. At the heart of the EC 250 2T is a robust single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that boasts a displacement of 249.30 cc. This engine is designed to deliver a thrilling experience, characterized by its punchy torque and high-revving nature. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, riders can seamlessly shift through gears, tackling steep inclines and technical sections with confidence. The Keihin 38 mm carburettor, with its reed valve intake system, ensures responsive throttle control, while the liquid cooling system maintains optimal temperatures for extended rides. With a lightweight chassis weighing in at just 101 kg (222.7 lbs), the EC 250 2T offers exceptional maneuverability, allowing riders to navigate tight corners and obstacles with ease. The EC 250 2T is packed with features that enhance its off-road capabilities. The chrom-molybdenum tubular frame provides a sturdy yet lightweight foundation, ensuring durability without sacrificing agility. The Sachs 48 mm up-side-down front forks and the Sachs hydraulic mono shock absorber at the rear deliver 295 mm and 310 mm of travel, respectively, absorbing shocks from rugged terrain and maintaining traction on challenging trails. The bike's braking system is equally impressive, featuring wave floating discs with a 260 mm front and a 220 mm rear, providing excellent stopping power for those unexpected emergencies. With a seat height of 945 mm, it offers a commanding view of the trail ahead, while still being accessible for a wide range of riders. **

Pros

  • Lightweight Design: Weighing just 101 kg, the EC 250 2T is easy to handle and maneuver, making it ideal for technical off-road riding.
  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 249.30 cc two-stroke engine delivers impressive torque and responsiveness, perfect for navigating steep inclines and tricky obstacles.
  • Advanced Suspension System: With significant travel in both front and rear suspension, the bike absorbs bumps and offers excellent stability over rough terrains.

Cons
